- After I lost my memory, I forgot my
- scum ex
- My boyfriend, the one I’d loved for years, had
- amnesia and he forgot all about me.
- No matter how hard I tried, he couldn’t recall
- our memories. He even thought I was crazy.
- Then, I accidentally overheard a phone call
- between him and his best friend, and
- everything became clear.
- “There’s no amnesia. I just wanted to spice
- things up and watch her squirm while I hook
- up with other girls.”
- My heart sank, and I broke up with him.
- Then, I agreed to a risky brain surgery that
- <
- could cause amnesia.
- 1.
- Mark didn’t even flinch when I broke up with
- him.
- He was playing the amnesia card, so he
- wasn’t supposed to remember I was his
- girlfriend.
- I was packing my stuff at his place when he
- got back from the hospital.
- He had some blonde, cute girl hanging off his
- arm.
- That must be his “thrill,” I thought, already
- moving on right after leaving the hospital.
- “Why are you in my house?” Mark said,
- playing the innocent card.
- I knew you can’t wake someone who’s
- pretending to be asleep.
- But the girl, she piped up: “He dumped you.
- She’s just grabbing her stuff.”
- Mark snorted. “I don’t remember any love
- stuff with you, but if everyone says so, fine.
- Whatever.”
- “Just don’t try to sneak anything out. If it’s
- not yours, don’t touch it.”
- His coldness was spot on, like he really did
- forget me.
- If I hadn’t heard that call with his bro…
- <
- If he didn’t like me or wanted to split, he
- could’ve just said it. I wasn’t the clinging type,
- I would’ve left quietly.
- But no, he had to make a show out of it,
- making everyone play along. It felt like a fly
- got into my cereal bowl. Gross.
- I didn’t feel like calling him out. Just said, “It’s
- not mine, I don’t want it.”
- I kept packing, with the two of them acting
- like prison guards, watching my every move.
- Every now and then they’d start with the
- flirting, even making out right in front of me.
- Things he used to do with me, he was now
- doing with a new chick.
- <
- Like he said, it probably got him off more
- doing it in front of me.
- I packed fast, it was just a few clothes and
- some jewelry anyway.
- I swallowed my feelings, shook the bag and
- said “Hey, Mark, wanna do a check?”
- He shot me an annoyed look and said: “Just
- get out, you’re bugging us.”
- My heart squeezed and I teared up.
- Heavy feet carried me out the door. Once I
- rounded the corner, I let my tears fall.
- My phone rang.
- “Ms. Johnson, since you’re decided, come to
- <
- the hospital ASAP. We need to talk about
- your surgery.”
